Mappings & Trusts User Tracking

It would sure be nice if OSI had a way to better manage users access, because we know there are a lot of people who have the client tools but move to a different job or end up not needing them, so we want to pull their license/programs away and give it to someone else opposed to having to buy more. It would be really nice if as an option in the Mappings & Trusts beside the Trust name there was a counter that kept track how many times that trust was used, and have it reset to 0 every year Jan 1st.

    We have no plans to implement the specific feature in this idea. However, please note that PI Data Archive 2016 R2 introduced a way to store the history of connections from clients, interfaces and other applications. You can use the existing server tool, pidiag, to write the connection history to a CSV file for further analysis.

    Sounds like you want to track user/usage. Do you have a trust per user? I'm asking because you spoke to resetting the counter per trust every year on Jan. 1st.
